Prime Contractors

Office of Small and Disadvantaged Business Utilization (OSDBU)

The list below provides information on large business Prime Contractors who are interested in subcontracting with small, small and disadvantaged, women-owned small, HUBZone-certified, 8(a), veteran-owned small, and service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses.

To determine if opportunities exist for your company, we recommend you prepare yourself as follows:

Research the company by reviewing the column “In Search Of” to determine if there might be a match;

Visit each prime contractors’ Web site to learn more about the company;

If the company requires businesses to register in their Supplier Registration database, do so (it is very likely that the Prime will ask if you’ve been to their site and registered in their supplier database);

Send an email to the contact listed for each Prime informing them of your interest in being considered for subcontracting opportunities. Briefly explain how you believe you can assist the Prime (be specific and tie your experience/capabilities to their needs).

If you have the opportunity to meet with a Prime, be prepared, and most important, be on time.

If they ask you to follow-up with additional information, do so.
